Have you ridden the Masi a few times? Super curious to hear if, after many years and a couple dozen touring bikes that have all been declared 'the one', it will actually legitimately be the one.
My guess?- neither is 'the one' and you will continue the search indefinitely.
As for which would I choose? Between those two- the Masi. I have no idea what the gearing or components are for either since you wont tell us and the pictures dont show, so I guess all that can be set aside when considering things.
I would go with drop bars and the Microshift bar end shifters instead of that Jones bar or whatever it is on the Surly.
